(2) YA Daniel "Sprout" Bradford's class assignment, "Quit Whining! or, Holden Caulfield Could Learn a Few Things from Huck Finn," catches the eye of a state essay-contest coach. Working with no-nonsense Mrs. Miller forces Sprout to explore his secrets--like being gay. Structurally effective, caustically entertaining, unpreachy, and thought-provoking, the story is a satisfying look at the truths one young man unearths about himself.
